Ryan_V Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 in 7 years of ATV ownership, I have my first flat tire. sorry to say I don't have a cool story to go with it, I ran over a nail at my place.What do you guys do?? does it need to go to the dealer, or can I take it to a tire shop and have it plugged?? it's in a lug, but went through and leaks when I take out the nail.thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roofer Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Get a tire patch kit. Patch it and look for some 6 ply tires. You could also run some slime in the tires to make sure of the seal, but it sure makes a mess if you want to change tires.If it was me, I would call it bad luck hitting a nail, but a good excuse to get some new tires.

ec30_06 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 A tire shop can put a patch on the inside of a tire. With the right tools you can do it yourself, but it can be very tough to break the bead on an atv tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jltimm Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Go to Wally world and get a tire repair kit and put a plug in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
